Goosh.org - NOT an Official Google Shell

After reviewing my statistics today, I found a couple referrals from this website, goosh.org. At first, I did not think much of its Spartan appearance (like I have room to talk). But after tinkering with it awhile, I realized it was pretty darn functional. As you can see below, it behaves similar to a UNIX shell.

By the way, the author of the utility states this is NOT an official Google product! As usual, here is an example run.
